Most Palestinians alive today were born into what is practically an open-air prison that is cordoned off by Israel. Being oppressed is all they have known. Its obvious that they hate their colonisers. And all these bombings will only fuel that hatred.
I mean we couldn’t have expected anything else after they chose UAE as the venue.
Horrific! This is irredeemable damage! I doubt any of those records were digitised considering the limited resources of authorities in Gaza. These are historical documents that can never be recovered. What a shame!
Hindustan Times is pretty reliable.

So much lives cut short by mindless violence…
Yep, they changed it after I posted.
This entire summit is a farce.
Yeah, most articles you read were just written to get more click and making it sound apocalyptic/disastrous drives clicks. They are focusing more on the worst possible outcome and less on previous instances.
Jail is a bit extreme. But he is the proponent of fascist dictatorship and write poems praising it. I don’t feel much sympathy for fascists.
Jail is a bit extreme. True.
Lee Yoon-seop advocated for unification in his piece that was published in the North’s state media in 2016, South Korean media report.
He wrote that if the two Koreas were united under Pyongyang’s socialist system, people would get free housing, healthcare and education.
You omitted the key point here, the poem advocates for all of Korea to be united under the North Korean regime.
Dude wrote a poem for the North Korean state media advocating for the unification of Korea under the ‘Pyongyang’s socialist system’. Considering that the reason for the entire Korean war and the ongoing conflict between North Korea and South Korea is that both claim to be the only legitimate government of all Korea, I can see why they would find this seditious.
Several reports and commentaries in similar vein have been coming out recently https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-23/ukraine-risks-being-forced-into-talks-baltic-diplomat-says#xj4y7vzkg
Only as fucked as IDF’s, which had billions of dollars of funding and complete air and border control over Gaza and still couldn’t see the attack coming.
True!
Yikes! Sounds like something straight out of the fash playbook.
Yep, they have been pretty close to final death tolls published by the UN for the previous wars.
— 2008 war: The ministry reported 1,440 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 1,385.
— 2014 war: The ministry reported 2,310 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 2,251.
— 2021 war: The ministry reported 260 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 256.
While Israel and the Palestinians disagree over the numbers of militants versus civilians killed in past wars, Israel’s accounts of Palestinian casualties have come close to the Gaza ministry’s. For instance, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the 2014 war killed 2,125 Palestinians — just a bit lower than the ministry’s toll.
Israel has already taken over and profits from Palestine’s oil and gas reserves
